PS4 Games We’re Thankful For
BEYOND!
As it's Thanksgiving in the United States, we decided to take a break from our normal breakdown of the latest news and releases — though don't worry, we do fit in a bit of talk about PlayStation opting out of E3 2019 — to discuss what we're thankful for in 2018.
IGN staff you may and may not know join Jonathon Dornbush to discuss both games and things in general they're thankful for this year. IGN Snapchat's Josh Du and Emily Bockian, IGN Wiki's Casey Defritas and Jon Ryan, and IGN's Persona Expert Executive Editor of News Andrew Goldfarb join Jonathon for the first half of the show, while Barrett Courtney and Max Scoville join Jonathon for the second half of the show.
Satanic Temple Announces Lawsuit Against Statue in Sabrina Has Been ‘Amicably Settled’

10 Zelda: Ocarina of Time Secrets You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
November 21 marks the 20th anniversary of one of gaming’s most beloved titles, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Ocarina of Time was the first 3D entry in the Zelda franchise, and practically wrote the book on the future of action-adventure games with its breathtaking world, thrilling battles, and complex dungeons. At this point, its successors have blown it away in terms of size and scope, but that doesn’t mean it still isn’t hiding a few secrets that fans missed the first few dozen times through.
Most players are aware of more widespread secrets like the Sinking Lure, Malon’s Bowser brooch, and the Mario Portraits, so we recruited the help of 10-year Ocarina of Time speedrun veteran ZFG to help us construct a list of lesser-known secrets, mechanics, and interactions you can find in Ocarina of Time’s Hyrule.
Here’s How Much Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Is Tracking to Open With
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Sony's animated take on the Spider-Man universe, is set to hold the #1 spot in its domestic box-office launch, if projections for the film hold.
As reported by THR, Into the Spider-Verse is on pace to "open between $28 million and $35 million, according to projections from the major Hollywood tracking services."
Alongside Into the Spider-Verse, Peter Jackson-produced Mortal Engines and Clint Eastwood's The Mule will also be released on the same weekend and are projected to fall behind the film that focuses on Miles Morales instead of Peter Parker.
2 New Marvel-Sony Movies Set for 2020 Release
Two new Sony/Marvel films are currently set to hit movie theaters in 2020.
A representative from Sony told IGN a currently "untitled Sony/Marvel" film will hit the big screen on July 10 of 2020, and an "untitled Sony/Marvel sequel" is set to arrive in theaters on Oct. 2, 2020.
Although neither film has been officially named, it would make sense for the first to be Jared Leto's standalone Morbius film, which is currently set to begin filming early next year. Morbius will be directed by Daniel Espinosa and produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach.
